VIVA UNIVERSALSerial 78170451 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Grupo Iusacell Celular, S.A. de C.V.
Class 036 - Insurance & Financial
Filed Oct 02, 2002
The record shows that “VIVA UNIVERSAL” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on Nov 2 2003 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, and no later filings have revived it; the owner listed is Grupo Iusacell Celular, S.A. de C.V. The only goods covered are “pre‑paid cards for mobile phones, pagers and any other kind of electronic or digital instruments that allow communications between people,” all in International Class 036, so a similar name used for those prepaid‑card services would raise the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “Viva Universal.” This was a Principal Register filing, not a Supplemental Register case, and the prosecution history simply shows an examiner assignment, a non‑final action, a correspondence change, and then abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signals appear. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a name in the same prepaid‑card space, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods or services.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
